Today's blog is on a more sentimental note (which is a rarity for me), and it was brought about pretty much the same way all of my other blog ideas are. I was laying in bed looking at all of my posters and little plastic trinkets I've accumulated over my childhood, and I started to recall how I'd acquired them. I was suprised to see how much I remembered about each one. The human mind's capacity to remember events, especially those linked to physicial objects, is truly remarkable. Just looking around I can see a picture I drew in seventh grade, which I was frustrated at because the person's clothing in my source image was badly lit. I can see a purple game controller (one of those 25-in-one plug and play Atari games), which I bought at an antiques store in Colorado for $8. I can see a Spore poster, which I got with the $50 deluxe edition of the game (even though I didn't realize I was overpaying for it at the time). I can even see a Coke can that I got on a flight back from Washington DC, and I kept it because it was made in Austria and was a different shade of red than most cans. Anyway, that's my little sentimental bit.

Maura is right. I was a hoarder in kindergarten until my mom convinced me that stuffed animals do not have feelings.

And for some reason you wonder why you're always broke

I don't just buy stuff Conor. I'm pretty sure I havn't actually spent money on anything that wasn't a game or food since school started. Also, the main reason I'm broke is because I don't have an income.

Franklin, you're always someone I've viewed as having little feelings. And I suppose that's a good thing.
